Terry Cavanagh’s old-school platformer VVVVVV, which launched on iOS back in June, has gone on sale for the first time ever.

Now, iOS device owners can pick up the title for just $0.99 (as opposed to the application’s usual price of $2.99). As before, VVVVVV is optimized for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, and it weighs-in at 59.5 megabytes.

In case you’re unfamiliar with the application, VVVVVV’s iOS port is an 8-bit game in which players are situated in outer space. There, you’ll discover that a problem with your spaceship means the app’s protagonist has become separated from the rest of his crew; from here, you’ll need to solve puzzles in order to find your way back to the character’s comrades.
